Yes that is the recommended procedure. "You can upgrade from the last minor release of the previous version to the next major release. For example, you can upgrade from 7.9 to 8.0, assuming that 7.9 is the last minor version in the 7.x release."

Hi, thanks for the link. So it looks like I was close. Am I reading this right in that I have to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 first then to 7.2?

Scott, Not sure if is a concern for you but upgrading from 7.0 to 7.2 does not allow a zero downtime upgrade. Check out the section " Performing Zero Downtime Upgrades for Failover Pairs" on the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/configuration/guide/mswlicfg.html Nick -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 12:26 PM To: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [c-nsp] Any gotchas in upgrading ASA5520 pairs? Hi, I have two ASA 5520 devices in a active standby pair. I'm presently at firmware 7.0.7 and ASDM 5.0 and want to upgrade to 7.2.4-33. I've googled and found some detailed instructions and the process seems simple and standard, upload the image, change the boot vars, save and restart. Is this correct? Would the following work? First, upgrade the standby, restart, once back up fail over to standby so the primary becomes standby and repeat? Are there any issues with mismatched images that I will need to be concerned with while the two devices are in transition? How about any gotchas from the upgrade of 7.0.7 to 7.2.4 itself anything I need to know? I didn't see any alerts in the directions but figured I should check here. Any pointers would be appreciated.
